For sneakerheads, packing for a vacation or an extended tour requires an elite level of tetris-like luggage-stuffing ability. Aside from selecting what you plan on wearing, fitting ‘em inside a suitcase without squishing ‘em into flip-flops is always a concern, so take a page out of Theophilus London‘s book; he’s currently on tour and needs to keep his sneaker rotation fresh and diverse, and what he shows off here (Air Yeezy 2s, Chicago X, Grape V, Last Shot XIVs, and his Del Toro collab) proves that he’s serious about his sneaker game. Which of the notable sneakers do you own in your own collection?

It was all the way back in March of 2010, way before Ronnie Fieg x Asics mania hit classic running fans around the world, that we got our first glimpse at the ‘Salmon Toe’ Gel Lyte III. Ronnie had kept those as a remnant of his days at David Z, then held them under wraps for another 18 months before word hit about their release at Fieg’s new Kith retail spot, but the inspiration arguably came even further back when Asics did up a ‘Salmon & Butter’ pack of GT IIs created for summer 2009′s Bread & Butter Berlin tradeshow. So while this new pair of Asics GT IIs held by noted celebrity sneakerhead Theophilus London might remind you of RF’s design, they’re actually a bit closer to that older Omega 3-rich design. The BBB ‘Salmon’ GT II was a friends & family release and Fieg’s hit a year and a half after their first tease; could we expect a similar timeline on this newest revelation? Only time will tell, so be sure to stick with Sneaker News for all the upcoming release dates.

Is wearing Air Jordans with leather pants the new statement in hip-hop fashion? It’s true that only a select number of people could actually pull that off, and Theophilus London, recognized for his unique and eccentric taste in threads, is certainly one of those dudes who can wear Jays with cow-skin trousers and still maintain a look of sanity. Theophilus was spotted at a special benefit event at The Museum Of Modern Art, where he posed for the cameras in front of a wall of red roses (taking the red carpet theme to a flora-based motif) while wearing the Air Jordan XI Space Jam. More shots of Theophilus and his Space Jams are below so take a look and let us know what you think!

The Mags are here! The Mags are here! Theophilus London is the most recent notch of the Nike Mag 2011 belt of Celebrity Feet sightings, as the Brooklyn native recently rocked his lit-up pair during his show in New York City. Theophilus London has gained a reputation for owning one of the most unique fashion styles in the hip-hop industry, but his sneakerheadism has been well documented as well (he was chosen to represent Brooklyn for last year’s Nike Sportswear 1LOVE Borough Pack). We’ve got some extra shots of Theophilus London’s Nike Mags below so take a look and let us know what you think.

Complex has been keeping the public in touch with the celebrity sneakerhead tip, especially with the All-Time lists of sneaker favorites. Next up to bad is Theophilus London, the Brooklyn-based rapper known for his heavy electronica influences, who like many of us had their past and present shaped by the love of sneakers (he was chosen by Nike to rep Brooklyn in the 1LOVE – 5 Boroughs feature). His Top 25 list is quite impressive and surprisingly diverse, with the usual suspects in Air Jordans and Foamposites, but there are a few gems in there that you might not have seen on any other celebrity list. We’ve got a small sampling of London’s Top 25 after the jump, so take a look below and head to Complex for the rest of the feature.
